"Fabriclive 38" by DJ Craze

DJ Craze is a far, far bigger name at the club than at the record store. That hasn't always been the case with the Fabric Live serious, which is probably why this latest installment feels more like a plausible night you could spend out dancing than any in recent memory. The mix starts with a run of strong hip hop tracks by the likes of Cool Kids and Bangers and Cash—acid bass underpinning most of them—before a classic funk break leads into the Miami Vice theme. Craze only hangs there briefly, after which he moves onto the Miami Jam Crew, the vibe gets dirtier and the beats more imperative, while electro sounds rule the next fifteen minutes or so, lingering especially on cheeky Vice Records darling Chromeo's "Bonafied Lovin'" and a Switch remix of Coldcut's "True Skool," featuring Roots Manuva caught in a very short loop and some kind of bent horn sample. Craze fades out after that, coming back with Earth, Wind, and Fire, in a ballsy change of pace, and what could have

Paramore, Strange Tag-Teams Highlight mtvU Woodie Awards

Photo: Kisby/Getty Four days before sending TRL out to sea in what will be an over-the-top pop-fueled spectacle, MTV honored another branch of its family tree with a more streamlined, indie-oriented affair. Hip-hop newcomer Asher Roth kicked off the 5th annual mtvU Woodie Awards last night at New York’s Roseland Ballroom with a tune entitled “I Love College” before joining Chicago rappers the Cool Kids and a few dozen college kids for a mock frat party during the Kids’ high-energy “Delivery Man.” Roth and the Kids set the precedent for the evening’s live performances with a set that embraced the target audience of the 24-hour college station without being overly flashy (save for the gold lame and silver sequined bikini-clad dancers that joined pop-punkers All Time Low). Lykke Li, joined by Bjorn of Peter, Bjorn and John, showed you can remain edgy while playing the kazoo during “Dance Dance Dance” and broke out her dirtiest club moves for “I’m Good I’m Gone.” Q-Tip joined Li on stage for the evening’s first left-field collaboration for A Tribe Called Quest’s “Can I Kick It?” before moving into a medley of “Move,” “Vibrant Thing” and “Gettin’ Up.” The evening’s other collaborations were just as quirky: Spank Rock came out to join Santogold for “Shove It” and Chromeo added some vocoder flavor to Vampire Weekend’s “The Kids Don’t Stand a Chance.” Other strange moments included Debbie Harry, sporting a white-blonde wig, introducing Santogold after proclaiming her adoration for the New Wave art rocker, Mark Hoppus scolding an audience member who grabbed at his shoe (”I’m not a piece of meat you can manhandle!”) and the Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” video getting the Rickroll treatment during a commercial break. With the exception of Chromeo, none of the night’s performers walked away with an award, though all were nominated. Paramore picked up Woodie of the Year from an inebriated All-American Rejects (who couldn’t resist plugging their upcoming album), while Breaking Ar

New York Times: Indie Rock Is Destroying America!

New York Times columnist David Brooks – known for his smarmy tone, moderate conservative politics and half-baked cultural theories – has a new hypothesis for everything that’s wrong with our country: the Arcade Fire! According to Brooks, indie-rock is another symptom of the fragmentation of American society, because it’s a niche market for upper middle class weenies. Fair enough, you may say, but then he goes on to talk about how the music “stinks” because its “lost touch” with our “common roots” and because – take a breath – it is “considered inappropriate or even immoral for white musicians to appropriate African-American styles” these days. This is compared to the Sixties and Seventies, when it was okay for Mick Jagger to write “Brown Sugar,” or something like that. We’re all for calling out indie-rockers, but a couple things: Niche music for upper-middle-class elites is nothing new — anybody remember the Cambridge folk scene in the Fifties? It spurred a boom that produced one of those guys that Brooks might like, Bob Dylan. And somebody should tell those dudes in Chromeo that they’re being wildly inappropriate or immoral; if anything, most indie-rockers don’t try to make black music (i.e., hip-hop) these days because they still have bad memories of 311 from the Nineties. We look forward to Paul Krugman’s takedown of freak folk next week.
